L'idéologie et utopie
$20.95

Summary:
Alors que l’idéologie vient légitimer le réel, l’utopie se manifeste comme une alternative critique à ce qui existe. Si l’idéologie préserve l’identité des personnes ou des groupes, l’utopie, pour sa part, explore ou projette du possible. Toutes deux se rapportent au pouvoir et font partie de notre identité, mais la première est orientée vers la conservation, la seconde(...)

Summary:
Alors que l’idéologie vient légitimer le réel, l’utopie se manifeste comme une alternative critique à ce qui existe. Si l’idéologie préserve l’identité des personnes ou des groupes, l’utopie, pour sa part, explore ou projette du possible. Toutes deux se rapportent au pouvoir et font partie de notre identité, mais la première est orientée vers la conservation, la seconde vers l’invention. À travers une relecture de penseurs comme Saint-Simon, Fourier, Marx, Mannheim, Weber, Althusser, Habermas ou Geertz, Ricœur s’empare de ce couple conceptuel classique pour développer une authentique œuvre de philosophie politique.

Summary:
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, and focusing on the prolific period between 1960 and 1972, this volume highlights examples of Roth’s most exciting and innovative books and graphics. An essay by curator Sarah Suzuki uses an extended investigation of “Snow” (1964–1969), a complex book-sculpture, as a touchstone from which to further investigate Roth’s use of language, iconography, technical innovations and relationships to other artists. A conservation essay offers two case studies that explore preservation issues and address larger concerns about the challenges of conserving contemporary art and organic materials.

Au fil de ces entretiens, Alain Corbin restitue les formes d'appréciation de l'espace, de la Renaissance à nos jours. Le paysage est, en effet, une manière de lire l'espace, de se le représenter, de le charger de significations et d'émotions. Il est une lecture indissociable de la personne qui le contemple. Il sollicite tous les sens, et se consttruit selon des systèmes(...)

Summary:
Au fil de ces entretiens, Alain Corbin restitue les formes d'appréciation de l'espace, de la Renaissance à nos jours. Le paysage est, en effet, une manière de lire l'espace, de se le représenter, de le charger de significations et d'émotions. Il est une lecture indissociable de la personne qui le contemple. Il sollicite tous les sens, et se consttruit selon des systèmes de croyances, de convictions scientifiques et des codes esthétiques. De l'anxièté au désir, de l'aménagement à la conservation, ce parcours illustré dessine l'évolution des postures, des formes de représentation et de maîtrise qui nous unissent au paysage.

Summary:
Consacré à l'architecture des bibliothèques contemporaines, cet ouvrage retrace le parcours historique des modèles d'organisation d'espaces dédiés à la conservation de la mémoire écrite ; il s'interroge sur les schémas actuels de fonctionnement d'une institution vieille de plus de deux mille ans et pourtant en perpétuelle évolution. Partant des premiers rouleaux cachés dans les niches des temples, Aldo De Poli analyse les origines lointaines de l'édifice "bibliothèque". Du Moyen Age à la Renaissance, il nous fait découvrir ces espaces, toujours plus identifiables et mieux conçus, destinés à devenir au fil du temps des institutions ouvertes au public.

Summary:
''Canadian environmental philosophy'' is the first collection of essays to take up theoretical and practical issues in environmental philosophy today, from a Canadian perspective. The essays cover various subjects, including ecological nationalism, the legacy of Grey Owl, the meaning of 'outside' to Canadians, the paradigm shift from mechanism to ecology in our understanding of nature, the meaning and significance of the Anthropocene, the challenges of biodiversity protection in Canada, the conservation status of crossbred species in the age of climate change, and the moral status of ecosystems. This wide range of topics is as diverse and challenging as the Canadian landscape itself.
